My pain doc wants me to try a nerve block on my back. I'm willing to try anything at this point. If you've had it done, is it painful? Does it hurt? I have DDD, stenosis,and L-4 and L-5 are herniated. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
You need to find a specialist who knows how to do it and has a CT or at least an ultrasound available. It can help you to patch up the pain for 1 - 3 months depending on the stage of your herniatedā¦ read more
I have seen many doctors in the past couple of years trying to find the source of my pain. I had neck fusion surgery in September 2014. Instead of getting better, things kept going downhill. I started getting daily migraines and pain that grew from my neck and shoulders to my arms, legs and now my trunk and hips. I have fibromyalgia and diffuse myofascial syndrome according to this last doctor. But I feel that there is unfinished business in my neck. No doctors will do another MRI on my neckā¦ read more

My husband told me that Pres. Trump said heād like to do away with half of all pain meds use! Iāve been on pain meds off and on from 21 to mid 30ās since I had received approx. 20+ surgeries in that time. Then 20 years ago ruptured L-4 and L-5, L-5 S-1. Pain was unbearable . Iāve been on them straight since then , Oct 21st at 1:10 pm ,1997. You donāt forget the date that changed your life. Iāve been treated like a drug seeker all my life on meds. Once and awhile youāll find a dr who knows painā¦ read more

Yes, I have in 2015
Because I have a few other conditions, that may be life threatening. I can't get the doctors o focus on my pain.
To be frank I don't care if the other things kill me, if they don't relieve the pain life isn't worth living anyway.
Anyone else had this problem, how did you get the doctors to understand.
Cannabis is the future. May not help everyone but helps me. Bed time I take oil with a small amount of the and 3 times a day I take a half of gummy and cbd with no thc 3 times a day. The hardest partā¦ read more
I know that they are bad people out there, but we are not one of them, and yet we get treated like we are bad, because we are in pain and what helps us is being decided by people who do not feel what we do
Ur NOT a bad person DONT ever let the B******s get U down M2
I hate the question "is your pain achey, throbbing, stabbing, etc?" I never know how to answer
I would suggest keeping a detailed journal and staying conscious of the pain you are feeling long enough to describe it. When we feel pain, our minds immediately try to distract us from it, in orderā¦ read more
